God is about to turn the strategy of the enemy around on his own camp. The enemy has sought to weaken many of God’s people. He has stolen their sleep, he has attacked their peace, he has robbed their resources and he has obstructed forward motion. Many are feeling weak…very weak. But if that is you then do not be discouraged! The Word makes it very clear that our weakness is an invitation for the power of God to come.
God reminded me of this today and said,
“The stage is set for My glory to be displayed.”
We have asked to be ones who display His glory. Well the stage is set and the cast is about to be debuted. You may feel like a public display of weakness but if that is the case it is because there is about to be a public display of His strength made manifest for all to see.
2 Corinthians 12: 9 assures us of this promise:
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
So go ahead, delight and boast in your current weakness because you are about to see strength and power come from the One who has put Satan under His feet. Boast in your lack because His abundance is about to be made manifest to display His glory. It will not be accredited to the wisdom or strength of men but to God alone!
Please prayerfully consider sowing into our ministry so that we can continue writing and speaking to encourage His people.
I appreciate this word this morning.

I really appreciate this post. I’ve not been on here for nearly a year. It’s been one of the most intense years of my life. The fire and shaking more often than not unbearable, etc. I was taken by surprise when I read the post last eve, as by this point in the journey, I thought getting stronger would be what should be happening (and underneath it all is happening). The gist of the writing has been coming back all day, as I am reminded that one of the most important lessons I have been learning in this is that I am NOT to be leaning on my understanding or strength, but His. Haha, so much more peaceful and simpler!
Blessings!

Your note blessed me deeply. I love that the Lord knows what we need and when we need it. I pray that His power and strength would quickly come into every area of your life and supernaturally turn it around for good and blessing. I love that He does not share His glory with our human strength but is a Father that gives amazing gifts of grace to us that we do not deserve. Bless you and your family! I can’t wait to hear a good report of what He has done to surprise you with His intervention.
Blessings and Love,
